Hi Anthony,
I think it is better to keep these if else (or for or while) statements
in separate lines for clarity. Otherwise, it is causing trouble... For
example. how would you interpret the statement below
<a href="#"><i class="{{if ans=='A': }} {{response.write('icon-ok') if
ans==correctans else response.write('icon-remove')}} {{ pass }}"></i></a>
This assumes the following logic :
if ... :
if ..... :
else:
....
But i was thinking that it will implement the following logic:
if ....:
if......:
.....
else:
....
Most of the examples in the book are in separate lines... So it reduces the
issues... But for compactness, i am trying to do it in one line...
